’Kinfolk’ traces one particular family that is presently to be found all over the world and most particularly in the south east of England, Yorkshire, Greater Manchester and the Potteries and discovers its roots on the North Staffordshire/Shropshire border in England in the Elizabethan Age and beyond. The Laynton/Lainton/Langton family were at one time closely associated with the Sukar family and for a while adopted the use of both names - Laynton-Sukar. Serving as a ’One-Name Study’ of this unusual surname, this book contains every reference that its researchers have found pertaining to the Laynton/Lainton name throughout the world. The research is presented not merely a list of names but as a journey back in time portrayed in the context of local and national events, to give a lively outline social history that should be of interest to anyone who enjoys learning about the past.This book includes:Census RecordsWillsA full index of names in Parish records and Civil RegistrationsMaps
